You-Pick Apples

DATES AND DETAILS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!
🍎 Apples are predicted to be ready for pickin' early August at Wilson's Orchard, where we've been growing apples since 1980! With over 80 varieties across 88 acres, each season brings new surprises: the timing, flavor, and color depend on the weather and soil.

🍏 Our apple-picking process is unique as different varieties ripen at various times from late August through October. Expect the first apple to ripen to be the Lodi—a tart and soft cooking apple that signals the start of fall! Other favorites include:

• Zestar: Sweet-tart, perfect for pies.
• Gala: Mild and sweet—family-friendly!
• Honeycrisp: The crowd-favorite that is crisp and sweet!
• Cortland: Snow-white flesh, ideal for salads.
• Fuji: Sweet and dense, one of the last to ripen!

🛝 What to Expect:

• Rows of mature apple trees 🍏
• Pizza & Cider Shack offering artisan pizzas and Wilson's Cider (non-alcoholic and hard cider) 🍕
• Fresh Apple Cider Donuts 🍩
• Farmyard Fun for kids including indoor and outdoor play spaces
• Animal viewing area for sheep and llamas 🦙
